Staff Researcher, Veterinary Hospital

Background: M.S. in Psychobiology; M.S. in Library and Information Science.

I have been at Penn since 1985, and recently resumed creative writing after a long hiatus. I enjoy writing poetry and short fiction. My literary interests include Southern literature, contemporary fiction/poetry, Oulipo, "found" poetry, and beat writers. I am known as the Penn & Pencil Club's eternal optimist!

Current Project: I am putting together a collection of found poetry made up of words taken from a fairly obscure 19th century novel. These are 3 of my found poems:

Jennifer Baldino
Judith Berman
Adele Chatelain
Randall Couch
Diane DiGiacomo
Patricia Green
Andrew McGhie
John Shea
Wendy Washburn
Mark West
Mark Wilhelm
Dilys Winegrad
